was a mortal one to the Scholtcn. A great ho'o
was torn in her port quarter through which tho
sea swept with an awful roar. The crew were
instantly at their posts. Captain Taat promptly
ordered that the boats be lowered. but it was
found that only two were available. The passen-
gers, most of whom had retired to their hunks
for the night, rushed on deck in their night gowns
and filled the air with piercing shrieks Many fell
on their knees and prayed aloud. Others struggled
to reach the boats, interfering with the work
of the crew. Some procured life belts and leaped
into the freezing sea- Little children clung to their
mothers, who could do nothing but shrek with
terror. All steam put on and the Schotcn
headed for Dover ten miles distant When within
four miles Of that city, just twenty minutes
after the accident happened, the steamer went
